With these growing tips, you are sure to succeed:Place: plant these giants in full sun. All sunflowers need at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day, and more is better. Sunflowers use the sun's energy to fuel their massive growth, so the more hours of sunlight the plants get, the more robust their growth. Soil: Loosen the soil and top it up with compost, organic fertiliser or lava meal. The deeper you loosen the soil (up to 25-50 cm), the better they can expand their roots. These sometimes grow up to a metre deep into the soil. Space: When growing giant sunflowers, plant the seeds directly into the soil where you want them to grow. Plant the seeds 40 cm apart in rows and don't plant them too deep (about 2 cm). The more soil you give each plant, the bigger the plant will grow. If you want to win very fanatically, remove the least growing seedlings and give the sturdiest ones plenty of free space (a metre or more) all around. If you want to grow the biggest flower, remove all side shoots so the plant can focus its energy on that one main flower. Care: Keep the soil moist by watering regularly until the sunflowers emerge above ground. Remove weeds regularly. Once the plants are growing well, watering once a week is sufficient. To make them grow to competition size, feed them regularly e.g. with organic fertiliser. If they catch a lot of wind, you can support them with sticks and string. Sunflowers don't need much other care, but pamper them a bit to get the most beautiful or biggest ones! We look forward to seeing your lovely photos on social media. We wish you lots of success and, above all, enjoy the growing process! Greetings, Marlies & Linda
